BG Outages 2024 - Testing Now!

[Melena]

I'm assuming you mean like if you move your mouse over say BG Forums Issues from this thread, it is supposed to highlight to show it's clickable?

[Obsidian]

Like hovering over any of the breadcrumb forum links or the BG icon in the top left, your cursor will normally turn into a hand with a finger pointing at the thing. It wasn't doing that on any hover-able element. It sounds like it was just me though so maybe I had some weird overlay artifact or something interfering with the event.

Better now?



I have no idea what you're talking about. Where on the forums?

Nope, still a 500 internal error. Hopefully it gets fixed before a certain mod deletes more posts.

It's 2026

Also, Tapatalk is giving me a network error message (get_config). By chance did you change something in the past day or two that might break tapa?

I see cloudflare protection screen when I log in through a browser, it's probably blocking tapatalk

50k+ bots were disrupting the forum yesterday.

Things might still be icky. These past 24 hours, we've been the target multiple times of a large botnet of 50k+ infected computers, mostly coming from residential ISPs across the USA.

I don't know what we did to get people so mad at us.

Would there be a reason why Twitter links on BG on Tapatalk open the app but don't go directly to that tweet. They just stay on the main feed. Not sure if this is a tapa issue, forum, or Twitter

Think it's a problem with the X app on Android. Same was happening to me (and not just on BG).

I just updated the X app and links are working again.

I know this is a month old, but maybe a last gasp for this botnet?

I feel like this is a never-ending whack-a-mole game since whenever one botnet gets taken down, more appear.

So far the firewall went from blocking 1 billion requests a week to 2 billions.
